Dog fighting for many in urban, high crime rate areas and even rural areas is something that they have grown up around. Something that at an early age they saw and began to accept. I think Chicago has some of the highest numbers in the reports.
So when I hear comments from other players on tv about dog fighting being seen as almost normal while it might seem odd to some. Others take it as almost this sub culture and it appears that many players in the NFL participate in it.
In more rural area these fights usually take place at night in areas hidden and not really spoken about. The same goes for cock fighting around here (which I find more common where I am from). In more urban areas they are usually on back streets. So it usually pretty hard for law enforcement to get warrents and find enough evidence to convict someone on dog fighting (most times they are just charged with animal cruelty).
I think that due to his big name that they are going to make an example of him to show that this should not be tolerated...

I agree with this statement. I know it went on where I am from, so I understand how some people may not think of it as the brutal activity it really is.
BUT just because something goes on still doesn't make it right.

Unless you're equating non-whites to dogs now and also believe that one race is genetically superior? I wouldn't put it past you. You're not a thinker.

Rudey for some reason I find your ignorance irritating (instead of the usual entertaining commentary around here). Neither one of my dogs were bred to fight and kill, and neither were the puppies of my friends who have pit bulls. Stop believing everything you see on the 10 o'clock news - all pit bulls are not violent or mean. Hell, your aunt Martha's chihuaua is probably more vicious than my dog. Unfortunately, pits are bigger and stronger than your average dog, and so they are more appealing to some really awful people. That is what creates tragic situations like this Vick case - violent and irresponsible owners.
Stop stereotyping the breed, because the "Pits are violent, murderous animals" thing is simply not true. Some are, but not all.
